Jessica Ballard

Jessica first discovered yoga more than five years ago-drawn to the overall peace and contentment that it brought into her life. Before discovering yoga, Jessica was busy—like most of us-trying to balance family, work, school, and friends. She spent very little time taking care of herself, but she yearned for something more from life.

After discovering yoga, Jessica quickly became passionate about it. She had finally found her calling in life and found a way to make time for herself while doing something beneficial for her body and mind while having fun at the same time. After only three years of practicing yoga, Jessica began teaching and has been for more than two years now. Several months after beginning yoga, Jessica's chronic back pain started to get better—making her life living with joint pain, caused by Fibromyalgia, tolerable.

Jessica has completed her 200 hour hatha Yoga teacher training at Rama Lotus, 20 hour laughter yoga teacher training with the Sun Flower Institute, and 40 hour Ashtanga teacher training with David Swenson. Her passion for yoga is more than just exercise, it's a lifestyle, and she is honoured to share this beautiful practice with others.
